COVETS GLEAMING SHARDS OF EARTH
VERY HIGH
Covets Gleaming Shards of Earth is now a Spirit of avarice, possessiveness,
and violent seizure of things that it wants, but was not always thus. It was
born from a scale of the great Serpent, which came loose and bathed in
the res of the earth. While it
was molten, the Spirit remained content.
In me, it grew curious about
realms above, and surfaced -
into a cave
once used as a skierscale
lair. Its form hardened into a
great, skierscale-
like body. Its nature also
hardened into something like the
skierscale’s,
always trying to scavenge or scrounge, or
skier in and take what
it wants.
And what it wants most of
all - more than a sharpling
wants carrion! - is
metal, metal, a shining reminder of
its me within the earthen
deeps.
SETUP:
Place and your Lair marker ( ) on your starting board in your choice of a
Mountain or a land with . Take another 13 presence discs and put them on the
bottom of your Hoard as Treasure Markers. Set aside metal tokens (
) near
your Hoard.
You start with your 4 Unique Power Cards and 0 Energy.
PLAY STYLE:
Can do nearly anything... if it collects enough metal! Benets from letting
the Invaders build up enough that nding metal is easier, and will tend to
do worse if it prioritizes preventing blight over its core drive.
This is an Apocrypha Spirit, made by Ted Vessenes and R. Eric
Reuss in 2023-2024 as a gesture for European fans coping
with shipping delays on Nature Incarnate. It may be shared.
Apocrypha Spirits are non-canon, and much rougher than
published Spirits. For more info, see tinyurl.com/SI-Apoc. This
Spirit draws from European fairy-tale dragons, so is especially
non-canon... save perhaps as a Dahan storyteller’s interpreta-
tion of Invader tales as a comment on Invader culture.
